In panel 17 Blue is clearly reaching towards the picture with her left hand, but in panel 19 she's touching it with her right. This unforgivable discrepancy has completely ruined what might have been a passably mediocre comic. Harrumph, Tat. Harrumph indeed!

I was kind of hoping today's strip would advance the plot a little further or at least provide new info. Although, don't get me wrong, definitely an effective emotional piece, it doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know.

Except perhaps that Blue considers Fuchsia's actions a bit more dire than one might have anticipated. I mean, even if Fuchsia's quit, Blue can still see her in everyday life the same way she sees Monique, Slick, etc., right? I mean, it's not as if they'll never see each other again.

Right...?

Oh, and we also learned that Blue can destroy things from a distance without fire (Panels 10-11). That's new.

my interpretation is that Blue is jealous and sad that her only friend has left for a man

Even if we don't count 'Nique (and I would), we don't know that Fuchsia is Blue's only friend. Closest friend, yes, but there are other Devil Girls behind the scenes and, as is ever the case, we never see Blue off-work. In lieu of any more decisive action, maybe Blue will end up crying on 'Nique's shoulder.

"Thanks for being my friend" seems like a rather mild goodbye to a former lover, but obviously space restriction was a factor.
